I want to point out a few bits of information as to why cleansing (nutritional cleansing of course) is not just something you may want to think about but something that is essential to the body if you want to live a healthy life from the inside out.
This is from the DC Digestive Health Examiner:
"The body is attacked by thousands of toxins everyday from electronic devices, to food, to air, and the clothes people wear, etc; the list could continue forever. The digestive system has the amazing ability to get rid of the waste to prevent build up. Although the colon rids the body of waste, it is the liver that filters toxins and sends them to the colon to leave the body. The lymphatic system, which plays a role by bringing waste from other parts of the body to the elimination organs and creating T-cells to engulf bad bacteria. But, what would happen if the colon gets clogged, the liver is overloaded, and the lymphatic system is backed up?
When the large intestine is not functioning, it congests the lymphatic system, forcing the waste to re-circulate within the body. When the liver is clogged, it allows toxins to go into the body, instead of filtering them out. Toxins can get into the blood stream and cause inflammation in other parts of the body. As a result, the body resorts to another well-known organ to purge the waste: the skin. Acne, rashes, eczema are signs the body is trying to rid itself of toxins. Toxins can be stored in body fat, preventing people from losing weight and fully detoxifying the body. According to Dr. Mark Hyman, Crohn’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and Candida are conditions, which can occur from a heavy toxic load."
Toxicity is unavoidable and causing more health problems today than ever. The US has the highest obesity rate, it is now considered a disease. Cancer, illnesses, prescription drug use, miscarriages, surgery, allergies are all at a very high rate and do you ever ask yourself why? I remember asking my mom a few years ago why cancer was becoming so prevalent, it seemed that everyone knew someone or had someone in their family with cancer. We couldn't come up with an answer until I started researching toxicity and cleansing and it all made sense. Our food, water, air, make-up, electronic devices as stated above are all toxic. You can't get away from it, even if you "eat healthy" or restrict your calories your body is still being bombarded by toxins DAILY, put on overload and cannot rid the toxins it was once able to on it's own which leads to fatigue, illnesses, weight gain and a lower immune system.
Do I write this to scare you? No. I write it to inform you what I didn't know until 3 years ago and I opened my mind to other possibilities. Do I know for certain that if you cleanse you will not get any of those problems listed above? No, but what I do know is that nutritional cleansing is preventative and gives your body a better chance to fight the illnesses that come along. You are building new, healthy cells- that is what is meant when I say "cellular level". Your body rebuilds itself every 6 months, you can build a healthier body by building healthy cells. I can say this with confidence because if you read "My Story" on my blog in an earlier post you know what I'm talking about.
I share this information for a couple reasons:
1- I know what it's like to not feel your best and wanting to but not understanding why when you are eating healthy and exercising. There's more to it, start searching.
2- I know too many people who are SICK, tired, sick of being tired, no energy, struggling to live happy and healthy.
3- I sincerely want to help and educate you so you may find the answers you are looking for like I was. I don't want anyone to have to go through anything like I did, and if you do I want to be there to help you find a way to fight it and get your health back. It's a battle worth fighting.
